Daniel 7 – 12

Most of Daniels prophecies are cryptic and difficult to understand. Many may point to times already past but I want land on the forth beast in chapter 7 and discuss it a bit further. Verse 7:8 talks about what happens with the beasts horns:

As I stared at the creature and wondered about the ten horns, suddenly another horn grew out of its head, smaller than the rest. Three of the first horns were pushed up from their roots to make room for the little horn. It appeared to have eyes like a human and a mouth that boasted and bragged of its great exploits.

The reason I am focusing on this is it’s described as “end times” prophecies and not something that has already passed. We also see this ten horned beast pop up in Revelations chapter 17. The interesting thing is what this may mean today.  I am going to drift a bit into modern conspiracy theory.

Today we have many government officials talking about a “New World Order” or NWO without too much questioning. The NWO by most is linking the world’s economies so there are less problems in trading. If you research this more it’s a Luciferian belief of uniting the nations (UN) into a one world government.

Now before you leave this blog forever understand this is only a though of what this all may mean and not considered fact. If you look how the OT constructs from God and righteous man in paradise to Jesus and the NT destructs Jesus to God and redeemed man in paradise we see in both there is talk of a one world language and government. In the OT Nimrod and the Tower of Babel was the fate of this system. In the NT Revelations 13 you see the one world government created before it all falls apart.

So there is Biblical basis for what people are concerned with in government today and the NWO is considered a one world order of government. Now back to the 10 horned beast and what it represents. Since a one world government would be almost impossible to implement the idea is the beast is the one world government and the 10 horns are 10 district leaders who control their localities.

The horn that rises up and pushes three horns is considered the NT anti-Christ who will most likely rise up from the Middle East and start the end times clock discussed in later chapters of Daniel. So as we read these prophecies we need to not just read them as old writings of the past, but as documents that could apply today. Many that seemed fulfilled often are hidden as a meaning inside a meaning or known as the Babushka’s Doll Principle. Is this interpretation true? Have no idea, but it makes sense when looking at our world today verse other interpretation of these visions.
